PrinceWatercress plays Illusion of Gaia - Part 15 of 21


In this episode, we enter the strange maze that is the Mountain Temple to find the Teapot.

Euro




The exit out of Euro is at the southeast corner of town.

Mt. Temple



Also known as Mt. Kress and/or Mountain Temple.

The vines act as bridges.

The grey skulls move around in sine wave patterns (much like the Medusa heads in Castlevania) and can easily be destroyed in multiple hits. They do move back and forth, but they can cover a lot of ground.

The spiders will jump from one bridge to another using their webbing, and they can also spit acid at you that can linger on the floor for a little while. The Psycho Slider can make quick work of them.

The gold skulls move back and forth and will shoot lasers out of their eyes. You can block the lasers, but it is just as easy to move out of the way when possible.

If there are any folds in the vine bridges, they are ramps. Use the Spin Dash to take them to a previously inaccessible location.

The sprites with the flutes fly around and summon fireballs that can encircle them before going in four different directions. They usually spawn in the areas made of mushrooms, and you will want to fight them with Freedan and his more powerful Dark Friar, which creates four smaller fireballs that spiral around the screen and cause massive damage when either A is pressed a second time or the fireball runs into an enemy. When possible, fight these guys as Freedan, since you will need the range.

There is only one Red Jewel in Mt. Kress/Mountain Temple, and it is west of the series of ramps to the left of one of the Dark Space portals. Just travel south and the west and follow the long path in order to get to it.

The Mushroom Drops can be used to fix some broken bridges to reach some areas that you could not get to before. You'll be finding them in three chests in the area in order to get to the end.

There is a Dark Space portal that allows you to learn the Aura Barrier for Freedan. The Aura Barrier acts as a shield, and to use it, hold A and quickly alternate between the L and R shoulder buttons. Mirror panels will move around you for a short time, but they make you invulnerable to enemies and destroy anything that gets in close.

When you get the Teapot, that's your cue to get out of the area. Hope you remember how to get out of here.

Euro



Meet with Neil again and use the Teapot near him. Neil's parents will turn into members of the Moon Tribe. You'll learn that both of Neil's parents are dead and that they used their bodies. Talk to Neil, and he will realize how important his parents are and that he wants to be alone.

You'll be back in the guest room. Neil will leave you to become president of Rolek and stop the slave labor trade, and tells Kara that an old friend is wanting to see her. That old friend is Hamlet, who has come all the way to Euro (by way of Rolek's delivery service in Watermia, thanks to Lilly). Talk to everyone, and talk to Kara to advance the plot and head towards Angkor Wat.

Natives' Village



Before going to Angkor Wat, everyone will stop over in a village. There are two huts, and if you enter the one on the right and look in the jar near the door, you can find a Red Jewel.
